Biden administration expands legal pathways for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela

The Biden administration will allow eligible migrants already in Mexico from those four countries to be considered for refugee resettlement in the U.S.
The refugee program puts migrants on a path to permanent residency and citizenship.
Mexico will host the refugee applicants while the U.S. determines their eligibility.
The expanded refugee program aims to reduce illegal border crossings by providing more legal pathways.
Republicans criticize the administration for abusing parole to allow more migrants into the U.S.
